    After my last conditioning treatment and trim.

    I've been going to Bo for haircuts my entire life. Literally. My brothers and I used to ask to sweep up hair on the floor of her first salon, before she opened her own many years ago. I drank my first mimosa at her salon's opening. That's not to say I haven't tried other salons before. There are Brazilian Blowout treatments in other salons walking distance to my house. They weren't bad at all, but the one Nichole does lasts the longest and looks the best. I honestly think it's the best keratin treatment in the city, and you know I'm being honest because I trade an afternoon dealing with the 10 freeway and Beverly Hills parking just to get it. I also switch off with the conditioning treatment, which is also one of the best for dry or damaged hair. Afterwards, I usually end up only needing a trim when I come in thinking I need a cut. Side effects include long, silk hair. I guess don't come here if you don't want long, silky hair.

    I moved to LA recently, and I desperately needed my roots touched up. I have naturally dark brown hair but it is dyed 50 shades of blonde. I work in Acting & Fashion, so my hair color is important to maintain. I came with a Groupon because I was on a budget and Bo and her assistant were so sweet about it. They seem like a family, and the environment was fun. Everyone at this salon was phenomenal, and so incredibly nice! I absolutely love my hair and will not be going anywhere else in LA!! Thanks Bo Balsim Salon!!!!!

    Me with great color and a haircut by Bo - all with CDC Covid-19 guidelines being followed.

    I love the fact I can get a facial, mani-pedi, color and cut and be scheduled efficiently in a way that it's all high quality and I'm not spending the whole day in the salon. The prices are also great value and the people are so friendly.

    I spent six years looking for the right place for my hair! No one could color it the way I wanted and I kept switching one salon after another because of this. My good friend referred me to Bo Balsim, and this turned out to be the best place! Thanks to a wonderful professional hair stylist my hair got better and grew longer due to the right approach. I finally got it colored right and was advised on how to take care of it in time. Overall my experience with Bo Balsim was great and each time it's a pleasure to come here. I am always offered coffee, war or tea, and the staff is amazing and fun! Definitely recommend this place to all! Ladies with long hair specially!

She is incredibly talented and capable, you can show her one pic and she will either make recommendations based on your hair, or gets straight to it and makes it happen. I've seen her 7 times now and have never left an appointment feeling anything but confident and stoked about my hair. No joke, last month I got a full balayage and some face framing layers, and within an hour of leaving my appointment, running errands, three strangers stopped me and asked me where I went for my hair/commented on how amazing it looked. Finally, you will not find someone with more flexibility on timing - she is beyond accommodating with her hours which is amazing for people with crazy work schedules. Do you have a stylist that will meet you at the crack of dawn for a quick, 5:30AM partial balayage before you go to work? I doubt it. Could not recommend Balayage by Linet (and Chelsi) more!

    I called to make an appointment with Soonie for a cut and blowout. Grace, the manager, made the…read moreappointment and informed me that all women's cuts come with a blowout so in the future I could simply request a women's cut. This information was confirmed when I called to reschedule I mentioned I wanted to reschedule my cut and blowout and Grace repeated that a blowout automatically comes with a women's cut. On the day of my appointment I arrived 20 minutes early but Soonie was 20 minutes late. While I waited I saw women leaving the salon with sleek, straight hair and I was excited to begin my appointment. When my appointment started I explained to Soonie how I wanted my hair cut and then asked for her input. I always do this because I value a professional's perspective and even when I don't ask stylists typically offer guidance. When I told her she was the professional and asked for her opinion she replied that I'd had enough haircuts to know what I wanted so she had nothing to add. When she began cutting my hair I told her I wanted a center part. My part was crooked from the wash and my hair hadn't been brushed afterward. She said it didn't matter and left it crooked while cutting. Stylists always ask where I part my hair and use a comb to part it properly but she did not. When she finished the cut she took out a diffuser and began diffusing my curls. I told her I wanted a blowout. She insisted I keep my hair curly and I explained that I specifically booked a blowout with my cut. She then put me under a dryer and told me my hair needed to be 80% dry before a blowout. I told her I wanted sleek, straight hair and she said it would be. After about five minutes she came back and proceeded to fully air dry my curls with a blow dryer before attempting the blowout. She never used a round brush she simply pulled my hair taut. I could see the frizz immediately and she could tell I was upset. At one point she told me she "could feel me sweating." She didn't section my hair and it was going in every direction. I tried helping by holding sections but she said it was okay even though it clearly wasn't. She continued making a bigger mess of my hair as she "worked." I watched women with beautiful, sleek hair walk past me in the mirror while my hair looked like a tangled messy bird's nest. My hair came out frizzy with waves and dents so she took out a flat iron and began flat ironing the frizzy hair and causing constant snagging. I've never had a stylist flat iron my hair after a blowout and I was surprised again. Her unrelenting conversation was about how I must be very good at blowing out my own hair, how I needed a trim every month and a half and then she drifted into awkward stories about when she first started working. All the while my hair looked nothing like a professional blowout certainly nothing like Cristophe of Beverly Hills. It felt more like a child playing hairdressing. I was stunned when she said she was done. I told her I would need to go over my hair at home because this was not how my hair should look. She simply said, "Okay, good." I was shocked she was comfortable letting me leave like that. This wasn't my first haircut or my first blowout. I know how a proper result should look. I even watched her give the woman before me a blowout and she took her time with a round brush and used pins. It says a lot when someone can only blow out straight hair. For Cristophe's reputation this was unacceptable. For someone advertised as a "master stylist," Soonie's work was atrocious. Her work looked like that of a beginner and I felt like she was practicing on me. I was deeply disappointed by her unprofessionalism and her bizarre uncomfortable conversations. She said she likes cutting but doesn't like blow drying. I wish that if she at least liked cutting she would've done an exceptional job there but the cut itself is ridiculously basic and she missed a section leaving the front uneven on one side. I go several months between cuts but not with this one. I need another cut immediately. I'm used to leaving salons with glamorous, bouncy, flowing hair that turns heads. Instead my cut with Soonie is heavy, has no movement and looks like a wig. She knew this would happen and should have said something when I asked for her input and even if I hadn't asked a professional should offer guidance. I cannot believe I specifically asked for her opinion and she refused. When I went to pay I was charged $200. I was stunned she had the audacity to send me out with frizzy, dented hair and waves at the roots and still charge me $200. I told the person at the front desk that I was very upset and she agreed my hair was messy and unkempt. She gave me the names of three other stylists who she said were good at blowouts and added that they were master stylists. I told her that according to the website so is Soonie.

I consigned a purse with the owner Ronnie in April 2024. It sold within a few days for $2,500. I was suppose to be paid 50% of the profit within 60 days of the sale. So $1,250. It is no April 2025 (a year later) and I have only been paid $100 of the $1,250 owed to me. If anyone else is in a similar situation please feel free to reach out to me in my DM's.
